Two University of Oxford professors discuss the current drastic changes occurring in evolutionary biology. Prof Denis Noble’s new book, Dance to the Tune of Life sets itself against the purely ‘gene’s eye view’ of Neo-Darwinism, and calls for a wider understanding of the principles of biological relativity.
This informal discussion about Noble’s book occurred after a dinner at his home in Oxford, where guest Prof Hagan Bayley was invited to pose a series of challenging questions to analyse some of the book’s ideas and themes. This exchange is acknowledged by Noble as providing the best debate on Dance to the Tune of Life so far.
